Abstract: The bearing capacity of large strip foundations under combined loading is an important issue in geotechnical engineering, which is related to the design and stability analysis of foundations such as gravity dams, retaining ...

Abstract: To investigate the wave (including P-wave and S-wave) propagation across a rock mass, the seismic discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) method is used, and a time-frequency analysis of the DDA simulation results is ...

Abstract: The discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) method calculates large deformations and discontinuous problems using time-step solving and provides an effective tool for analyzing the seismic response of rock mass engineering. ...

Abstract: Rock materials are often subjected to medium- and low-strain-rate dynamic cyclic loading such as earthquake action; however, few dynamic constitutive models for rock materials under dynamic cyclic loading are available. ...

Abstract: For equivalent linear and nonlinear site response analysis, both shear modulus and damping ratio are critical input factors. The elastic modulus and damping ratio of saturated soft clay are usually determined using cyclic ...

Abstract: Cyclic triaxial tests are commonly used to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of subgrade soil under cyclic loads. Most cyclic triaxial tests were conducted on normally consolidated clays, however, some of the subgrade ...

Abstract: Shield tunnels that cross soft and hard mutation strata will experience severe longitudinal uneven settlement, which results in local damage to the shield tunnel. Previous studies on the longitudinal mechanical properties ...

Abstract: The roughness of a joint has a significant influence on the physical and mechanical properties of rock mass, and it is a hot and challenging research topic to determine the joint roughness quickly and accurately. In this ...

Abstract: The bearing capacity of large rectangular foundations on soil subjected to combined loading [simultaneously subjected to vertical load (V), overturning moment (M), and horizontal or lateral load (H)] is one of the central ...

Abstract: Soil–rock mixture (SRM) shows complicated mechanical behaviors and hydraulic characteristics, which lead to challenging deposit landslides and debris problems in southwestern China. Previous studies have shown, based on ...
